A new job for Andy!

Praise the Lord, Andy has a new job! After three interviews in three days, Andy starts work at Sofa Mart on March 1! It's a true blessing; he's getting out of the fast food industry, away from unethical co-workers, and out of 5p-1a shifts! I'm really proud of him and think this could be the start to a career path! There are stores all over the country and he will be training as a manager...plus, most of the Sofa Mart stores are in college towns, or close, anyway, so there is a lot of potential for us! I know this work environment will be less stressful and more rewarding. And, to top it off, it's a Christian Company! Thank God for His faithfulness!!

January and February have been busy. In the last several weeks, RA Conference happened, then RA interviews and Selection, along with UMR-ACUHO winter meetings...and this week I'll be traveling to Oshkosh, WI to recruit full time professionals at OPE. Needless to say, I'm ready for the pace at work to SLOW DOWN.

Other than that, things are going well! I'm currently planning Andy's graduation party, as he will have his big day on May 8. Family will be coming up for the celebration, so I want to make it extra special for him. We'll also be moving that weekend, as my building is getting a sprinkler system this summer, so we aren't able to live in the apartment. Plans for now are to be in another apartment on the other side of campus.

The snow continues to fall in C.F. The winters seem longer each year. I'm definitely ready for green grass and warmer temperatures.

All for now,

Ashleigh and Andy
